Fri 12 Jun 2026This week has really had a World Cup feel to it. On Tuesday, we took part in a live Pobble lesson (a writing session) that was all about the World Cup. The children engaged really well and we have had some fantastic pieces of writing from it. Then, today, we went to see the Halle perform a range of songs all linked to the World Cup. It really has put us in the mood.
Please see the spelling list for next week below.
